Death in Brunswick
(1991)
Johnny's comments:
Death in Brunswick is a early 90s comedy about a
30-something man (Sam Neill) who starts a new job as a cook at a shady
club (the old Bombay Rock for those who remember that, I'm too young, but
I've heard stories...) and meets a 19 year-old waitress (a clearly older
than nineteen Zoe Carides) and they fall in love against her family
wishes. Then everything goes wrong for the man when he accidentally kills
the other cook and his friends take revenge on the club by bombing it, not
long after being fired and out the front of the place at the time. Pretty
good comedy that uses Brunswick circa 1990 extremely well and has some
very funny moments including the 'Piss off, it's school holidays' scene
and of course, the farting corpse. I wish they made Australian films more
like this today...

The Dark Room
(1982)
Johnny's comments:
The Dark Room is an extremely obscure early 80s
thriller about a fey arts student whose father accuses him of being gay
(ah, gay paranoia, those were the days) but we know better as he is
stalking a wannabe actress (Anna Maria Monticelli) to the point that he
ends up getting a job at the same place as she is working. But, the reason
he is stalking her is even more disturbing as it turns out she is having
an affair with his father. He befriends her, including shooting her
portrait photos and eventually attempting to bed her. But, he is obsessed
with his father's affair and it will be his undoing. A film that seems to
try for more, but is hindered by a by-the numbers plot. Also, the film
briefly features Baz Luhrmann when he was an actor, before he became a big
time director.
